Abstract

Purpose

The problem of image retrieval and image description exists in various fields. In this paper, a model of content-based image retrieval and image content extraction based on the KD-Tree structure was proposed.

Design/methodology/approach

A Random Forest structure was built to classify the objects on each image on the basis of the balanced multibranch KD-Tree structure. From that purpose, a KD-Tree structure was generated by the Random Forest to retrieve a set of similar images for an input image. A KD-Tree structure is applied to determine a relationship word at leaves to extract the relationship between objects on an input image. An input image content is described based on class names and relationships between objects.

Findings

A model of image retrieval and image content extraction was proposed based on the proposed theoretical basis; simultaneously, the experiment was built on multi-object image datasets including Microsoft COCO and Flickr with an average image retrieval precision of 0.9028 and 0.9163, respectively. The experimental results were compared with those of other works on the same image dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Originality/value

A balanced multibranch KD-Tree structure was built to apply to relationship classification on the basis of the original KD-Tree structure. Then, KD-Tree Random Forest was built to improve the classifier performance and retrieve a set of similar images for an input image. Concurrently, the image content was described in the process of combining class names and relationships between objects.

Abstract

“The world needs science, science needs women” is the message given by UNESCO in the program for the development of women in science” (UNESCO, 2017). In Vietnam, women’s participation and achievements in scientific research is considered a great and important resource for industrialization and modernization. Even so, are there gender differences in scientific achievement in the social science research institutes in Vietnam? What factors influence the scientific achievement of female social researchers? The answers will be based on data from a 2017 survey with a sample of 756 researchers, of which 77.6% were female. The survey was conducted by the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, a leading, ministry-level national center for the social sciences in Vietnam. This chapter analyzed the scientific achievements of researchers through their position as principal investigators of research projects and their publications, and factors that may impact this. Bivariate and multivariate analyses of factors that may affect the scientific achievement of researchers found that gender differences in academic achievement in the social sciences in Vietnam was still prevalent. Female researchers’ scientific achievements were lower than those of their male counterparts. The contribution to science of Vietnamese female researchers was limited by many different factors; the most important were the academic rank of the researchers and gender stereotype that considered housework the responsibility of women.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate the impact of green human resource management on cognitive factors, employees' pro-environmental behavior and the environmental performance of hotels in Vietnam.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing upon primary data collected from a sample of 393 hotel employees, this study utilizes covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) to test hypotheses and conduct path analysis.

Findings

The study’s findings reveal several key insights. Firstly, GHRM positively influences environmental knowledge (EK), environmental attitude (EA), attitude toward pro-environmental behavior (APB), pro-environmental behavior (PB) of employees and environmental performance (EP) of hotels. Additionally, the results also indicate that EK promotes EA, APB and PB, and both EA and EK can predict PB of employees. Surprisingly, the results from CB-SEM analysis reject the direct impact of APB on PB. Moreover, this study also confirmed the positive influence of PB on EP of hotels. Notably, the research delves into the moderating effect of work overload (WO) on the associations between GHRM and PB, as well as APB and PB.

Practical implications

The findings offer valuable recommendations for hotel managers and policymakers, aiming for effective GHRM practices and improvement of employees’ PB and EP of hotels.

Originality/value

This study broadens the understanding of sustainable management practices, specifically in human resource management in the hospitality industry. Notably, it identifies significant avenues to address theoretical gaps left by previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to trace the way in which a popular ritual became one of Vietnam’s most important festivals, elevated as a celebration of national heroism and charts its gradual transformation in modern society.

Design/methodology/approach

This research focuses on the combination of a fertility rite and narratives of St Gióng based on nationalism or heroism created a special festival reflecting many traditional cultural characteristics of Vietnam and the Việt people and the transformation of St Gióng from a mythological to a national symbol of heroism in anti-invader history was recorded in texts.

Findings

The paper casts light on the mythologization and historicization of St Gióng in Vietnam’s particular historical context by decoding the Gióng symbol as a core element of the folktales and myths about St Gióng to understand the formation and development of St Gióng in the cultural history of Vietnam.

Research limitations/implications

The paper is not exploring the Gióng symbol within a larger cultural context of nationalism and ethnosymbolic approach in a comparison of national symbolism and heroism.

Practical implications

The paper includes implications for advised scholars to conduct further exploration of the symbol and myth of not only St Gióng in Vietnam but also Kubera in India and Vaisravana in China to connect Kubera, Vaisravana and St Gióng under the connection of literal myth and heroic symbol.

Social implications

The paper shows how processes of historicizing myth and mythologizing history are important features of Vietnamese socio-historical research.

Originality/value

The paper shows how a fertility rite became a historical festival and the figure of St Gióng became a symbol of patriotic heroism.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide a deep understanding of rural household livelihoods in the Mekong Delta and to explore how they can cope with climate stressors at the ground level.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper employs the sustainable livelihood framework at a household and also an individual scale. The general data obtained from a survey of 2,100 households provide an overview of their livelihoods. Qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted, as case studies, to comprehensively assess 100 households in one commune affected by annual floods and an additional 100 households in another commune affected by sea level rises. Livelihood profile analysis is beneficial to identify specific livelihood change patterns that have taken place in these specific cases.

Findings

There are four types of livelihood adaptation to climate stressors: (1) change of structure of agricultural systems, (2) change of employment locations, (3) resettlement with strong impact on livelihoods and (4) out-migration. The household livelihood resources and the local economic structures have significant roles in driving adaptive solutions.

Research limitations/implications

This paper provides detailed profiles of the livelihood change considered as passive adaptation of smallholders in the Mekong Delta.

Originality/value

It contributes to the knowledge of rural households in multiple aspects with regard to how they cope with climate change via reflection on their livelihoods.

Abstract

Explores, using face‐to‐face interviews, the perceptions of managers in state‐owned enterprises in Vietnam, as to their strategic plans. Given that many of these enterprises will have to be privatized, sometime in the future, it is surprising that little thought has been given to this eventuality. Suggests that the massive nature of the state sector (40‐50 per cent of the economy) will make it difficult for policy makers to enact change. Outlines a macro‐economic formula for planned, gradual conversion, keeping this reality in mind.

Abstract

Purpose

The authors examine the factors affecting households' resilience capacities and the impacts of these capacities on household consumption and crop commercialization.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors use panel data of 1,648 households from Thailand collected in three years, 2010, 2013 and 2016. The authors employ an econometric model with an instrumental variable approach to address endogenous issues.

Findings

The study results show that the experience of shocks in previous years positively correlates with households' savings per capita and income diversification. Further, a better absorptive capacity in the form of better savings and a better adaptive capacity in the form of higher income diversification have a significant and positive influence on household expenditure per capita and crop commercialization.

Practical implications

Development policies and programs aiming to improve income, increase savings and provide income diversification opportunities are strongly recommended.

Originality/value

The authors provide empirical evidence on the determinants of resilience strategies and their impacts on local food commercialization from a country in the middle-income group.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to deeply understand customer experiences toward Internet of Things (IoT) applications in retail by developing machine learning models for aspect-based sentiment analysis (SA). It includes creating a related terms dictionary and proposing implications for retail businesses in Vietnam based on these analyses. The ultimate goal is to gain insights into customer opinions and assist administrators in formulating effective digital transformation and business strategies within the Vietnamese market.

Design/methodology/approach

Initially, this research uses qualitative methods to identify different aspects of customer experience at stores equipped with IoT applications. Then, quantitative methods were applied through classification machine learning models which were trained on the annotated data set to classify comments into aspects and sentiments. Finally, the classification results were analyzed and visualized to draw implications about customer opinions of these stores.

Findings

This study collected 77,042 customers’ comment from potential and actual customers who have ever shopped at retail stores with IoT applications deployed worldwide, identified ten new aspects of customer experience in this field and built a dictionary of related terms. Furthermore, this study contributed two efficient ensemble models with an accuracy of 81% and 89% for analyzing aspects and customer sentiments, respectively. This study also proposes implications for managers regarding the use of IoT technology in retail stores to improve shopping experiences for customers.

Originality/value

This study’s findings help managers develop appropriate digital transformation and business strategies for integrating IoT technology into retail stores, especially for retail businesses in the Vietnamese market based on the analysis results and proposed model.
